L&T Employees Voice Concerns Over Work-Life Balance Following Chairman’s Controversial Remarks

L&T workers have over the years also been raising issues about the work-life balance of the Indian multinational company. Employer reviews presented on Glassdoor show an increase in employees’ discontent in the last few months, many of whom complained about an imbalance.

The reviews range in date up to January 2025 in which the employees shared their experience work environment writing: “no work-life balance lots of politics in the workplace” on January 9 and “low wage rate and poor employee-employee ratio” on January 7. Comments such as “This company is so bad they don’t even have work-life balance” are not new, existing complaints go back to 2017.

This matter escalated again after some incendiary video of L&T chairman SN Subrahmanyan. In the undated clip, the chairman supported 90-hour work a week and regretted he could not compel the workers to work on Sundays. There is nothing more boring than having to ask the question, ‘What do you do sitting at home?’ How long can you look at your wife he asked and commenting further said: ‘Get to the office and start working’.

These comments, together with the constant rating of dissatisfaction from the employees, have solicited much discussion regarding the corporate culture and expectations in the Indian context.
